I just bought this yesterday too...to put in to my new purse!



I'm also making a wallet for my Mother-in-law! It's almost done, just having a little difficulty with the closure of the wallet because she wants a button closure, I'll take pictures of it when I'm finished!

Sew Cool!

Alright, so, last Friday was my weigh in and I weighed 289lbs!! Woot! What does that mean to me? Well, other then me losing weight being awesome, to help me along the way I have mini goals to fulfill, and once fulfilled, I'm allowing myself to gift myself for all my hard work.

What's my gift for going under my 290lb mini goal? A brand new purse! ... but, I got to thinking, I don't want a purse that is expensive and that everyone else has! I want something special... unique... well crafted... something handmade!! So I found this really awesome "market bag" that I'll be using as a purse... for only a little less than $63 with shipping...



But that got me to thinking... also... I would like a new wallet, coin purse, purse organizer, etc... things to put in my purse... so I went looking for those too... then I started thinking about finding tutorials for such things... then I started thinking about how I've always meant to take up sewing, started looking for a sewing machine.... and I think I'm going to start sewing as a new hobby! It will take a few weeks to gather the money to get what I need to start, but hey, it sounds like fun to me!!

Long Time No Type...

So, um, well... it's been awhile hasn't it? I don't know where I have been. I must have lost myself in this game called life and not even realized how long it has been since I have updated my little corner of the web.

Although I'm not sure I can really say much, I'm not one for magnificent long words, beautiful poems, or good advice... I can't say I've been very busy either, since I've only been working, taking care of the wee one, and playing a video game with my Hubby.

My Son has been doing wonderful, though I wish I could say the same thing about myself. He can say lots of new words and phrases, I can't even list them all! His favorite word is still "button" but along with that, "ut oh" is his new favorite phrase. He says "thank you" and your welcome" as well, he's a very polite baby! My favorite has to be "ut oh" though, he says it with so much enthusiasm, and in the cutest voice ever!

Work has been fine, though, I wish everyone from fountain wasn't leaving fountain to become a server. Tonight I was asked to stop acting so much like Julia (our boss), I think I will take that as a compliment, though I don't think it was meant to be one at all. I wasn't being bossy, just observant and trying to be helpful.

Perhaps I come off as a bitch, but I don't mean to, that's far from my intentions, I just don't want to a). get in trouble because I didn't say something to her, them, whoever it may be doing something incorrect or wrong, and b). her, them or whoever not to get in trouble and to know the proper procedures (and maybe care what the proper procedures are?).

A few things I find myself continually reminding people of in fountain is a). not to leave drinks in, or eat in the fountain area (health code violation), b). to label food items with dates (day dots), c). use the green scooper instead of the red scooper, or vise versa, or d). to stock or rotate food or dry stock items.

As closer, I need to make sure they do their job, so that I can do mine and not stress myself doing what they forgot to do, or going behind other people and redoing things they did wrong. My job is to close, plain and simple (ok, maybe not so simple).

Though yesterday one girl got an attitude with me asking "well if I'm doing all this, what do you do?", I wanted to say "excuse me?".. but instead I said, "I do a lot of things..." than started listing some things and said, "oh forget it, I'm not just going to list all the stuff I have to do", because it was pointless to do so.

Off topic slightly, if I even really had a topic? I lost 4 more pounds the other week, gained 3 back, but I'm now on my period so I don't have a accurate current weight, so I hope to update my ticker soon with a accurate weight and date!

Well, it's getting late...

Motivational Poem: Don't Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst, that
You Must Not Quit.

- C. W. Longenecker

Finally Looking Decent!

Ok, here's my NEWEST layout, I'm lucky I found time to make this one, it only took me a few hours before and after work today. I think it looks pretty cool. I'll add my music playlist, and fix a few things later... my menu is working now, I need to fix my comments section, looks plain to me... *yawns*...but right now is bed time.

Updates and Rants

It was brought to my attention that my new layout was super big for a normal screen, this happened because I didn't take the fact that my laptop has a wide screen on it in to consideration during the process of making the layout, so I am now stuck with this rainbow layout because, well, I used Hubby's PC and thought the colors on a normal monitor just looked gross.

So, tomorrow, Sunday, or possibly Monday, I will have a new layout up and running, but no guarantees. I've been really busy lately, swamped with work, sleep, exercise, and counting calories, that I barely have any time to myself, and in fact, I couldn't care less, what I care more about is the fact that I started crying when I was leaving for work this afternoon because I felt like a horrible Mother because I felt like I didn't spend enough time with my Son today!

Oh, and by the way, he says a new word now! "Button". Oh, yes, it's wonderful, except, he presses keys on my keyboard when he says it, lol. When he was pointing at the keys the other day, I told him it was a button, perhaps another word would have been better, but I thought that was appropriate for now, at his age, at least.

Also, I might as well add a little update during this somewhat longer post, compared to my recent posts, it's decently long... but, honesty, nothing has really been going on except dieting, which I plan on blogging about more often, probably next week if I can find the time... um, where was I?

Work tonight... *sigh*, it's not the job, it's this one person I work with, she just get's on my nerves sometimes, I guess I just don't see why Julia thinks she's such a hard worker, maybe I need to change my opinion about her one night and try to keep a more open mind, maybe she is actually doing her best? I just didn't like how she punched out 15 minutes early without doing her share of the work, and how she kept ringing up carryout, when it was my drawer tonight, I should have said something... I just didn't want to come off bitchy.

Also... someone took my banana! It's a big deal to me. You may be thinking, "why, it's just a banana?". Here's why... a). It's mine. If it doesn't belong to you, don't touch it! I hate it when someone steals from me! b). I needed it for my calories, and did not bring money to work with me. c). Whoever moved it, threw it away, or ate it, or whatever, had no idea what that banana meant to me... before you laugh, let me explain... if I was taking high blood pressure medicine, and needed potassium to take my pills, or, worse, what if I had diabetes and my blood sugar got too low at work and I needed that banana because of it and it wasn't there... what then? My point is that nobody thought of a reason as to why I needed that banana, nor did they care, before they took it off the table.

Besides, this is not the first time something of mine has been stolen or misplaced at work. Also, my drawer was short $10 yesterday night, and shit like that can get ME fired! So I'm never letting someone use my drawer (unless I TRUST them, like this one girl at work), ever again.

Wow, it's been awhile...

It's definitely been awhile since I last posted on here. The truth is I've been way too busy working, exercising and dieting to really have any time to post anything, and I'm actually about to go to bed, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive and that I will update this tomorrow, hopefully get a new layout up as well, because I accidentally deleted my last one, lol.
